WASHINGTON — In extra innings, with a chance to reclaim first place in the NL East, Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez gave two pitchers their major league debuts.

Welcome to the big time, Juan Jaime and Ryan Buchter.

"Perfect scenario to bring 'em in," Gonzalez said with a smile. "Those are big innings. We always talk when we bring 'em up, 'How are you going to use them?' 'What's the situation?' Well, today was an extra-inning game against your division rival. You're going to have to use them sooner or later."
